A filter represents a set of run configurations that enable custom views of the data stored in DTP (see DTP Concepts). Filters show a subset of data that is associated with projects in the database. Many DTP REST API services require the filter ID to be specified when calling an endpoint.
In this section:
Creating a Basic Filter
A filter is automatically created when a new project is added to DTP, but you can create additional filters to facilitate custom views of the data associated with the project.
- Choose Report Center Settings from the settings (gear icon) menu.
- Choose Filter from the Administration menu and click Create Filter.
- Enter a name for the filter and choose a project from the Associated Project menu.
- Click Create to add the filter.
You can still change the filter settings when the Create Filter dialog closes.
You can configure how coverage images and run configurations are added by choosing a setting from the Automatic Association of New Data menu.
- Choose Associated Projects to automatically associate data from the associated project with the filter.
- Choose All Projects to automatically associate data from all projects with the filter.
- Choose None to disable the automatic association of data.
Changes are saved automatically. The new filter will be available in the Report Center dashboard filter menu.
